Courtney Brown goes No. 1 in NFL Draft; Redskins, Jets score big time in draft lacking high drama.(Sun-Sentinel, South Florida)
FORT LAUDERDALE _ After a miserable 2-14 inaugural season in which they gave up 170 rushing yards a game, the Cleveland Browns on Saturday selected all-everything defensive end Courtney Brown of Penn State as the No. 1 pick in the draft.
A few minutes later, the Washington Redskins made Brown's college teammate, linebacker LaVar Arrington, the No. 2 selection _ the first time players from the same school have gone one-two in the draft since 1984, when wide receiver Irving Fryar and tackle Dean Steinkuhler came out of Nebraska.
``I know the fans are very excited and enthusiastic,'' Brown said. ``I visited the city a couple of times. It's a great place and I think I can fit in very well there.''
One reason he was taken over Arrington was his cooperation in completing a contract before the draft began.
``I just wanted to get that all out of the way so I could get ready to go play some football,'' he said.
